EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Great King of the Parthians hunts with his tame panthers" takes us back in time to witness a majestic scene from ancient history. The illustration, engraved by Jan Collaert and published by Phillipus Gallaeus in Amsterdam, showcases the remarkable talent of Joannes Stradanus (Jan van der Straet). In this artwork, we are transported to an era where kings ruled with power and grandeur. Mithradates I, a legendary Parthian king who reigned from 175-138 BC, is depicted as a fearless hunter surrounded by his entourage. Dressed in regal attire and armed with weapons such as swords, spears, bows, and arrows, he exudes authority. What truly captures our attention are the magnificent creatures accompanying him on this hunt - his tame panthers. These graceful big cats walk alongside their master fearlessly yet obediently. It is a testament to Mithradates' prowess that he has managed to train these wild animals. The composition of the artwork beautifully portrays the harmony between man and beast. The lush landscape serves as a backdrop for this royal spectacle while horses graze peacefully nearby. "The Great King of the Parthians hunts with his tame panthers" not only offers us a glimpse into ancient hunting practices but also celebrates the bond between humans and animals throughout history. This engraving reminds us of our fascination with wildlife and how it has influenced art across centuries.
